Kaieteur News – Held on Sunday at the world famous Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) Pavilion, the Bi-Annual General Meeting and Elections of the Guyana Cricket Umpires Council (GCUC) commenced just after 10:00 hrs and concluded just after 13:00 hrs.
A fairly large gathering of delegates from Berbice, Demerara and Essequibo turned out to cast their vote for a new Executive body of the GCUC which was formed in 1971.
When the ballots were completed, Essequibian Dawcha Nagasar, who took over as Acting President from Shannon Crawford after he had resigned from the post, edged out DCUA’s President Ryan Banwarie 22-19.

Nagasar, who will serve as President for the next two years, thanked all the members for their continued support and welcomed all the members who were elected to the executive.
“Although an executive has been elected, I would like all the umpires to be involved in the decision-making through their respective Associations for there is a lot of work to be done.
The GCUC interests and business come first and as such we must come together and be prepared to make sacrifices and be available to serve the GCUC for this is the only way the Association will move forward,” continued Nagasar, who also severed as Secretary during the last term which coincided with the Covid-19 Pandemic.
